An EICR report is a formal document and should only be carried out by certified electricians who are fully insured, qualified and experienced to undertake such an important safety task within your property.  A EICR can prevent the risk of shocks and electrical fires and damage to your property so should only be undertaken by experienced experts.

Why do I need an EICR in Deptford SE8 ?

To ensure optimum safety and to minimise the possibility of electrical fires and shocks all properties should be retested periodically.  Once your EICR in Deptford is completed you will have peace of mind regarding the safety of your electrical installations and systems in your property and know that tenants, employees and visitors are also safe.

Recommended retest periods vary for different property types, to ensure the best possible safety, inspections should be performed on the following intervals:

Rented Houses: 5 years
Domestic Property: 10 years
Other Property Types: Please enquire

If you are a Landlord or business owner in Deptford then an EICR is a mandatory legal requirement every 5 years. Failure to observe the law will result in prosecution from the authorities.  If you have failed to fulfil your legal obligations as a Landlord, and not carried out the necessary checks and adjustments, you will be held responsible if someone is hurt from an electric shock or fire on your property.

If you are not a Landlord or business owner regular EICR inspections of your home gives you general peace of mind knowing that the electrical systems are safe.

Obtaining an EICR when selling or buying a property can provide helpful information and clarity on the condition of the property.

An EICR is also a useful tool in these times of rising energy bills to identify areas for poor efficiency and concern, therefore improving your energy consumption, making your property more energy efficient, saving you money.

An EICR will also highlight electrical faults early before they can create costly damage in your property.

Our EICR process

  • We check your property’s equipment and circuits.

We will take the time to test every single cable in your property: all sockets, all lights, all light switches to ensure your safety.  We provide you with a report of our observations.  If a fault is encountered we will make our recommendations for  remedial action.  We will include the grade and reason for failure which will be broken down into the different categories below.


Issues with your electrical system within an EICR report are broken down into 3 different categories:

Code C1

This observation means “Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required”

This code denotes an issue that presents an immediate threat to the safety of occupants, guests, and customers on the premises

Code C2

This observation means “Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required”

The homeowner is at risk of shock

Code C3

This observation appearing in an EICR report means “Improvement recommended”

A code C3 denotes that there is a non-compliance with the safety code, but it does not present immediate or potential danger.
